Sock Buns

If you know me, you know that I wear my hair up nearly every day. So, when a friend posted a youtube how-to on sock buns on SLOCountyMommies, I had to give it a try. Not only is it supposed to be a way to style your hair, but it's also supposed to be a curling technique. And, yes, you really do wear a sock in your hair!
I put mine up in the sock bun right out of the shower, so it was really wet and didn't dry after 7-8 hours, thus not working as a curling technique, but I could have added some styling gel and worn it scrunched curly when I took it out. I'll have to remember that for days when Chuck and I are planning to go out in the evening, but I don't have time to dry and hot curl my hair.
Sometime I'll give the sock bun a try with just getting my dry hair damp and leaving it in like on the video so that it will dry into curls.
I think a flower/feather hair clip would really finish off this look nicely.

I saw a video on sock buns when I was looking at how to make Princess Leia (sp?) buns. So crazy!
